Context of Psalms 78:35
33So He brought their days to an end in futility And their years in sudden terror. 34When He killed them, then they sought Him, And returned and searched diligently for God; And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their Redeemer. 36But they deceived Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue. 37For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
